July 7 — The Forest Lives by Its Own Rules

Forest Doesn’t Care · published 16 Jun 2026, 18:06 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

For the last six months, we've been working on the biggest update for FOREST DOESN'T CARE.

On July 7, the forest will change.

A new story will unfold through dialogues and scripted events. Animals, predators, prey, and people will now exist as part of a living ecosystem.

The world no longer revolves around the player.

Creatures hunt, hide, migrate, and survive on their own. Encounters will feel more natural, unpredictable, and immersive than ever before.

Behind the scenes, we've completed more than 200 development tasks to bring this vision to life.

This is only the beginning.

More details, previews, and gameplay footage are coming soon.

See you in the forest on July 7.
